Twitter reacts to the end of the Derrick Johnson era in Kansas City

The Kansas City Chiefs have already begun a (minor) re-building process this offseason, something made evident when the team traded away quarterback Alex Smith to make way for second-year player Patrick Mahomes.

Now, the Chiefs are saying good-bye to a franchise great in linebacker Derrick Johnson. The team announced on Tuesday that it does not intend to re-sign the linebacker, bringing an end to Johnson’s tenure with the Chiefs.

Johnson, who had been with KC since they drafted him in the first round back in 2005, says he intends to keep playing, and a few teams will likely come calling (perhaps an AFC West rival?).
